SR-22 insurance in Wyoming
In Wyoming, the SR-22 filing fee is about $15–$25 and most drivers pay $35–$71/month for minimum coverage — the cheapest in the country. Wyoming requires the filing for three years.
Wyoming is the least expensive state in America for an SR-22, so the requirement here is more about staying continuously insured than about the cost of the policy.

How filing works in Wyoming
In Wyoming, your insurer files the SR-22 with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) — not a standalone DMV — usually electronically within 24 to 48 hours of your policy start. Wyoming requires it for three years from your conviction date, and the minimum liability is 25/50/20.
Wyoming is the cheapest state in the country for an SR-22. State Farm writes minimum coverage for roughly $474 a year — about $40 a month — against a statewide SR-22 average near $1,035. A $50 WYDOT reinstatement fee applies after a suspension, plus your insurer's $15–$25 filing fee.
There's no grace period. Any coverage lapse triggers immediate re-suspension and restarts the three-year clock, requiring a new filing and the reinstatement fee again.
The cheapest SR-22 state in America
Wyoming consistently posts the lowest SR-22 rates in the country. Minimum coverage runs about $35–$71 a month, with State Farm and GEICO tied near the bottom, and State Farm's roughly $474-a-year rate sits well below the statewide SR-22 average of about $1,035. Low population density, few urban centers, and modest claim costs keep premiums down even for high-risk drivers. If there's a silver lining to needing an SR-22 in Wyoming, it's that the policy behind it costs less than almost anywhere. Estimate your figure with the SR-22 cost calculator, or compare states on the SR-22 cost page.
Even the priciest Wyoming city is cheap
Wyoming's rates vary a little by location, but the whole range is low. Laramie is among the cheapest cities for minimum-coverage SR-22 insurance at about $437 a year with State Farm, while Cheyenne runs a bit higher near $511. That's a real gap in percentage terms, but even Cheyenne undercuts most of the country — so if you're comparing quotes across Wyoming towns, the differences are worth chasing but none of them will hurt. Shop anyway; the cheapest SR-22 guide covers who stays friendliest to high-risk drivers.
Confirm an old requirement before you pay
Wyoming's rural profile means many drivers go long stretches without driving, and an old suspension can linger unresolved. Drivers in exactly that spot are advised on r/Insurance to do one simple thing first: call the DMV and confirm the SR-22 is still required before buying a policy. As one commenter put it about a decade-old DUI, if your license was actually reinstated the filing requirement may no longer exist — the state is the only authority that can tell you. A five-minute call to WYDOT can save you from paying for a filing you no longer owe.
What triggers it, and the interlock
Most Wyoming SR-22s trace to a DUI, driving without insurance, or an at-fault uninsured accident — WYDOT's own materials note that an uninsured accident alone brings both the SR-22 requirement and the $50 reinstatement fee. A DUI typically adds an ignition-interlock requirement on top of the filing, administered through WYDOT's Driver Services program, with the device installed and leased at your own expense. Reinstatement runs through WYDOT's oneWYO online portal, where you can pay the fee and confirm your status without visiting an office. Because Wyoming's premiums are already so low, the interlock lease and the fixed fees, not the monthly rate, are usually the biggest line items after a DUI here — plan for them alongside the SR-22.
The SR-22 won't tell your employer
A common worry is whether the filing reaches an employer. As drivers explain on r/dui, an SR-22 is "simply your insurance company letting the DMV know that you carry the minimum insurance limits — that's it." It's a filing between your insurer and WYDOT, not a report to your job — unless you drive for work and your employer pulls your motor-vehicle record, where the underlying conviction, not the SR-22 form, would show.
Non-owner SR-22 in Wyoming
If you don't own a car, a non-owner SR-22 satisfies the filing at an even lower premium and covers you in borrowed or rented vehicles — a genuinely cheap option in the country's cheapest SR-22 state. It's only valid if you don't own a registered vehicle; our non-owner SR-22 guide covers who qualifies.
If your Wyoming SR-22 lapses
A lapse re-suspends your license, restarts the three-year clock, and makes you pay the $50 WYDOT reinstatement fee again. Auto-pay is the safest guard. If you've already lapsed, see what happens when an SR-22 lapses and reinstating your license. Neighboring Montana and Colorado run their filings differently, which matters if you move mid-term.
